Chapter 1026 Zhou Jun Arrives
Under Shaoguan, the offensive and defensive battle between the Wei and Ming armies has lasted for nearly a month. The Wei army has gradually gained an advantage by relying on its superiority in strength and fierce mortars.

Under the pass wall, Wei Jun's mortars roared, and black smoke columns rose from the pass city and behind the pass.

The gunners of the Wei army hid behind the low wall and fired a volley of fire guns to suppress the top of the city. The infantry attacking the city held their shields high to resist the dense bullets and arrows from the top of the city, and rushed towards the city wall with the climbing ladder .

The Ming army defending the city has also accumulated a lot of experience after days of fighting. At first, they were suppressed by the firepower of the Wei army and shot at the Wei army. As a result, the casualties were extremely heavy. When the artillery came back and concentrated on shooting, they hid behind the wall, squatted by the wall, shot from the shooting hole, or used a parabola to throw thunder, trying not to expose themselves, only when the Wei army began to attack the city aggressively, they would stand Get up and fight back.

At this time, the Wei army's firearms and artillery were afraid of accidentally injuring their own side and would lose their suppressive effect. The Ming army stabbed with a spear and stabbed a Wei army off the wall.

Under the two-mile-long wall, soldiers of the Wei army were scattered like ants. The soldiers climbed up the long ladder to the city. The defenders poured poisonous oil and gold juice from the city. The venom was burning unbearably, and the soldiers in great pain jumped down the city ladder one after another.

The Ming army resisted tenaciously, but at several key points where the Wei army attacked, the fierce soldiers of the Wei army continued to rush up the wall. With the last strength, he hugged the soldiers of Wei Jun and fell down the city wall together.

Days of tackling key problems has already made the Wei army red-eyed. Breaking through Shaoguan and entering Guangzhou has become their only belief.

Under the banner of the big flag on the top of the mountain outside the pass, Gao Yihuan looked stern, waved his hand again, and thousands of Wei soldiers jumped out of the trench and attacked the city.

The mortars of the Wei army adjusted their angles, and the shells were thrown towards the pass wall to prevent the soldiers of the Ming army from going to the pass for reinforcements. A bloody and cruel offensive and defensive battle was carried out in Shaoguan.

In less than half an hour, thousands of corpses had accumulated in Shaoguan. There was an explosion at the city gate, and gravel flew.

A general of the Wei Army waved his hand to disperse the smoke, and seeing that the doorway hadn't been blasted, he immediately waved his hand, "Here we come!"

The soldiers of the Wei army immediately took the medicine bag and stuffed it into the door opening, but the hole was too small to put much gunpowder in, so the soldiers immediately drew out their sabers and slashed wildly.

"Let me take the brigade." A Wei soldier with a big ax stepped forward, and the crowd quickly moved away. The soldier spat, raised the big ax with both hands, and slashed like a mountain, and chopped a large piece in a few strokes.

"Pack it up, seal it!" Zhang Brigade yelled immediately, and in just this time, Wei Jun under the city gate had already been shot down.

The soldiers of the Wei army immediately loaded the gunpowder, and then sealed it with earth bags of bricks and stones, and the brigade yelled again, "torches!"

The soldiers next to him handed over the torches, and he waved his hand. The soldiers of the Wei army flashed to the side of the city gate, and then stretched out the torch to light the fuse.

The head brigade lowered his head, bowed his waist, and rushed out quickly, hiding beside the city gate. Immediately, soldiers raised their shields to protect him, and everyone blocked their ears.

With a loud bang, countless gravels sprayed out from the gate opening, the thick city wall trembled, and a huge puff of gunpowder smoke rose from the gate opening.

Shaoguan was trembling, the city bricks and mud were falling down, the city walls were shaking violently, the soldiers of the Ming army on the city could not stand firmly, and they fell one after another. The fall of Guancheng was inevitable, and Huang Degong closed his eyes in despair.

"Kill!" Before the gunpowder smoke cleared in the gate, the soldiers of the Wei army called and rushed in. At the same time, a large number of Ming troops gathered behind the gate.

"Bang bang bang" sounded, the soldiers of the Wei army screamed, and the soldiers behind continued to charge forward, and they could already see the street behind the pass, but at this moment, Rulin's spears came oncoming.

For a moment, the gate was full of soldiers from the two armies. The soldiers of the Wei army squeezed in, and the soldiers of the Ming army pushed out. This made it difficult for the soldiers who entered the cave first. Squeeze until you die.

"Push!" Wei Jun saw the hope of breaking the city, and all of them pushed forward. Wei Jun, who had climbed to the top of the city, rushed to the inner side of the city wall, and began to throw thunder into the street, blowing up a piece of it.

It seemed that victory was about to be won, but at this moment, a low-pitched horn sounded from the wilderness behind the wall, like thunder resounding through the mountains.

On the observation tower on the hill outside the closed wall, the soldiers of the Wei army were surprised to find that after the closed wall, countless horses and horses, mixed with war elephants, rolled in, and immediately exclaimed, "No, the Western Army is here!"

Under the banner of the big banner, Gao Yihuan heard the horn from behind the pass and the report of the soldiers, his face was gloomy, and after a while he waved decisively, "Withdraw the troops!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
On November [-], the Wei army almost took Shaoguan, but the arrival of the Zhou army broke the Wei army's quick decision.

In the big tent of the Wei army's central army, the retreating generals of the Wei army were full of complaints. Many people scolded Sun Kewang, the shit-stirring stick, and declared that after beating Nanming, they would kill this turtle grandson who repeatedly spoiled Wei's good deeds. .

At this moment, Gao Yihuan stood in front of the sand table with a sullen face, and Jin Shenghuan clasped his fists behind him, "Your Majesty, the Western Army has arrived, and it may not be easy to break through."

Gao Yihuan was silent for a while, turned around, and said with a slight smile: "Sun Kewang can't come, there is a way to not come, Sun Kewang can come, there is a way to come."

Seeing the emperor's speech, all the soldiers calmed down. Huang Bingzhong clasped his fists and said: "The previous attack has already caused a lot of losses. Now that the western army has arrived, if we continue to attack, the army may suffer more casualties."

Gao Yihuan said with a smile: "The previous attack was because I thought I could break through the pass, and the fact is the same. Without Sun Kewang, the pass would have been broken today. Now that Sun Kewang's western army has arrived, it is not easy to break through, so why should I continue to attack? Directly follow the plan and implement the second set of strategies."

After speaking, Gao Yihuan became serious, "Order Zhao Daxian to leave Fujian immediately and attack Guangdong."

A chess and card official clasped his fists immediately, "Here!"

Gao Yihuan continued: "Now the main forces of the Ming army and the Western army are in Shaoguan, and the Ming army's flanks are empty. At this time, as long as Zhao Daxian threatens Guangzhou, Zhu Cihong must seek a quick decision. At that time, it will not be me who is going to attack the key, but Zhu Cihong who will go out and fight with him." I have a decisive battle!"

Jin Shenghuan said with a treacherous smile: "Your Majesty is wise, but I think that Zhu Cihong is going to fight decisively, but we can't easily follow his will. We can let the army retreat and set up camp, first use the stronghold to wear down his vigor, and then defeat the main force in a battle."

Gao Yihuan smiled knowingly, then waved his hands and said: "The army retreats fifty miles and goes down to the village!"
